Default old bow and new string? need help!!

I recently acquired a 52" Wing Thunderbird from a friend. I believe the bow was made in the late 60's or early 70's and is in desparate need of a new string. I'd like to make a string for the bow, but all I have is Dyna '97. I've read that older bows might not fare well with the newer style (low-stretch) bowstrings. Is there any way to tell if the bow can handle an endless loop string made from Dyna '97?

thanks for your help! Kris

I'm pretty sure the Wing isn't made for anything but dacron. Bob Lee still won't warranty his bows for anything but dacron strings.
